would it not be a good idea to ask at least one question about the student's exercise routines as well?

[naughtyboy]

No Dot< she only needs info on diet for this assignment an exercise questionaire should follow.

[ChocolatChip]

Thank you for the advice dot, however the research is only based on eating habits, not on exercise. I am basically trying to find out if students eat healthier in college than at home. (Maybe I should have put that in my question.)

[dot.hawkes]

ahhhh right i get it. :)

[naughtyboy]

College? Pre or post 16? I'll get my sons to answer your questionaire when they get in. At what level are you at in your HSC course Choc?

[ChocolatChip]

Preferably college students, although I will quite happily accept pre-college students, it may give some ideas on different age choices.
I am doing Level 3 National Diploma in Health and Social Care, hoping to go onto counselling.

P.s In my first year.

[ChocolatChip]

Great! Thank you to Mrs Overall and her son :)

[naughtyboy]

Shoot for the stars Choc, councelling is a worthy occupation but with a merit or distinction at level 3 on a diploma course you can gain a place at Uni. One of my sons is doing a social work degree using his level 3. This when qualified will encompass councelling as well as all the other skills aquired.

[ChocolatChip]

Ahh right, I'm undecided of going to university yet. I am thinking of a Degree in Psychology. But am unsure, as I know that a good route for counselling alone is to do a diploma in it. But I adore psychology, so I may go for it.
My tutors are confident I will gain distinctions overall throughout my course.
I am convinced not to fail, as last year I had to take a year out due to illness.

[mrs_overall]

You're welcome chocolatchip.
Number 1 son is a first year medical student.
I have my doubts that my stew really is his fave meal, but heyho!

[ChocolatChip]

Personally, I adore my mother's stew!

[leelapops]

Chocolat I can only answer this retrospectively, as I am 23 now! would that get you into too much trouble?
